Important notes for users in the
U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13
Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug
proceed as follows:
1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp,
A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3 Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should
have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse
is used, the fuse at the distribution board
should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to
avoid a possible shock hazard should it be
inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with
the following code: blue = neutral (N),
brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the
colour markings identifying the terminals in
your plug, proceed as follows:
– Connect the blue wire to the terminal
marked N or coloured black.
– Connect the brown wire to the terminal
marked L or coloured red.
– Do not connect either wire to the earth
terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or
coloured green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain
that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath
of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Advarsel: Usynlig laserstråling ved åbning
når sikkerhedsafbrydere er ude af funktion.
Undgå utsættelse for stråling.
Bemærk: Netafbryderen er sekundært
indkoblet og ofbryder ikke strømmen fra
nettet. Den indbyggede netdel er derfor
tilsluttet til lysnettet så længe netstikket
sidder i stikkontakten.

Klass 1 laseraparat
Varning! Om apparaten används på annat
sätt än i denna bruksanvisning specificerats,
kan användaren utsättas för osynlig
laserstrålning, som överskrider gränsen för
laserklass 1.
Observera! Stömbrytaren är sekundärt
kopplad och bryter inte strömmen från
nätet. Den inbyggda nätdelen är därför
ansluten till elnätet så länge stickproppen
sitter i vägguttaget.

General Information
This product complies with the radio
interference requirements of the European
Community.
Environmental Information
All unnecessary packaging has been omitted. We
have tried to make the packaging easy to
separate into three materials: cardboard (box),
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,
protective foam sheet).
Your system consists of materials which can be
recycled and reused if disassembled by a
specialised company. Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.
Acknowledgement
Energy Star
As an ENERGY STAR
R
Partner, Philips has
determined that this product
meets the ENERGY STAR
R
guidelines for energy
efficiency.
Supplied accessories
– Remote control
– Batteries (two AA size) for remote control
– AM loop antenna
– FM wire antenna
– AC power cord
Safety Information
● Before operating the system, check that the
operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (or
the voltage indication beside the voltage
selector) of your system is identical with the
voltage of your local power supply. If not, please
consult your dealer.
● Place the system on a flat, hard and stable
surface.
● Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in
your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches)
clearance from the rear and the top of the unit
and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.
● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to
excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources
caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.
● If the system is brought directly from a cold to a
warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense on the lens of the disc
unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD
player would not operate normally. Leave the
power on for about one hour with no disc in the
system until normal playback is possible.
● The mechanical parts of the set contain self-
lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or
lubricated.
● When the system is switched to Standby
mode, it is still consuming some power.
To disconnect the system from the
power supply completely, remove the AC
power plug from the wall socket.

Preparations
Rear Connections
The type plate is located at the rear of the
system.
For users in the U.K.: please follow the
instructions on page 2.
A Power
Before connecting the AC power cord to the
wall outlet, ensure that all other connections
have been made.
WARNING!
– For optimal performance, use only the
original power cable.
– Never make or change connections with
the power switched on.
To avoid overheating of the system, a safety
circuit has been built in. Therefore, your
system may switch to Standby mode
automatically under extreme conditions. If
this happens, let the system cool down
before reusing it (not available for all versions).
B Antennas Connection
Connect the supplied AM loop antenna and FM
antenna to the respective terminals. Adjust the
position of the antenna for optimal reception.
AM Antenna
Fix the claw
to the slot
Position the antenna as far as possible from a TV,
VCR or other radiation source.

FM Antenna
For better FM stereo reception, connect an
outdoor FM antenna to the FM ANTENNA
terminal.
C Speakers Connection
Front Speakers
Connect the speaker wires to the SPEAKERS
(FRONT) terminals, right speaker to "R" and left
speaker to "L", coloured (marked) wire to "+"
and black (unmarked) wire to "-".

2
Clip the stripped portion of the speaker wire as
shown.
Notes:
– For optimal sound performance, use the
supplied speakers.
– Do not connect more than one speaker to any
one pair of
+
/
-
speaker terminals.
– Do not connect speakers with an impedance
lower than the speakers supplied. Please refer to
the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual.
Optional Connections
The optional equipment and connecting cords
are not supplied. Refer to the operating
instructions of the connected equipment for
details.
Line Out Connection
Connect this output to any analogue audio
equipment for playback or recording (CD
recorder, tape recorder or amplifier for example).
Use a cinch cable to connect the LINE OUT
terminals to the analogue audio in terminals of
the equipment.
Connecting other equipment to your
system
Connect the audio left and right OUT terminals
of a TV, VCR, Laser Disc player, DVD player or
CD Recorder to the AUX/CDR IN terminals.
Notes:
– Do not connect equipment to both the LINE
OUT and AUX/CDR IN terminals at the same time.
Otherwise, noise will be generated and malfunction
might occur.
– If you are connecting equipment with a mono
output (a single audio out terminal), connect it to
the AUX/CDR IN left terminal. Alternatively, you
can use a “single to double” cinch cable (still be
mono sound).
Digital Out Connection
Connect this digital output when recording on
any audio equipment with digital input (CD
Recorder, Digital Audio Tape [DAT] deck, Digital
to Analogue Converter and Digital Signal
Processor, for example). Use a cinch cable to
connect the DIGITAL OUT terminal to the
digital input terminal of the equipment.
Inserting batteries into the
Remote Control
Insert two batteries (Type R06 or AA) into the
remote control with the correct polarity as
indicated by the + and - symbols inside the
battery compartment.
